SUBJECT: CUP-238 -PEVNEY -Request for permit to install
retractable radio antenna (receiver and transmitter) in
rear yard of 4134 Skyline Drive.
I• RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the
Negative Declaration issued by the Land Use Planning Manager and
ADOPT Resolution No. 2225 APPROVING CUP-238, based on the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to install a radio antenna in the rear
yard of a house at 4134 Skyline Drive. This antenna would allow
him to conduct amateur radio broadcasting and receiving, subject
to FCC regulations. The proposed antenna is retractable and
could reach a maximum 55 feet in height.
The antenna is proposed to be located amongst pine trees, near
the rear lot line of the property. The property to the rear is
presently being graded for the Carlsbad Palisades (CT 76-15)
subdivision, which will result in the construction of single-
family tract homes, terracing down the hillside to El Camino
Real. Lots immediately behind the proposed antenna are proposed
15 feet lower than the subject property.
III. ANALYSIS
Planning Issues
1) Will the proposed antenna significantly contribute to
aesthetic degradation of the neighborhood?
2) Will the proposed project cause television and radio
reception interference in the neighborhood?
DISCUSSION
The Carlsbad Municipal Code contains no guidelines as to how
amateur radio antennas should be handled, or when and where they
could be allowed. In the absence of city standards, staff
contacted various city departments to identify any problems
associated with these antennas in the past. Aside from the fact
that the antenna structure must be reviewed by the building
inspectors (to make sure it is structurally sound), the
aesthetic and reception interference issues were the only ones
to surface.
• •
Staff believes that any aesthetic impacts associated with the
visibility of the aluminum antenna will be mitigated by its
camouflage amongst several mature pine trees. In addition,
staff has contacted a communications expert to discuss potential
reception interference. After reviewing the antenna information
supplied by the applicant, it was noted that the specific
antenna proposed is one of the more sophisticated antennas
available, which should result in little potential interference.
The applicant has also supplied information that such amateur
radio operators are of great value to the country in times of
emergency, if communication lines are interrupted. As a result,
staff is recommending approval of the permit.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project
will not have a significant impact on the environment and, as a
result, has issued a Negative Declaration on November 22, 1983.
